[QUOTE="slaney, post: 1834652, member: 6391"] I find using sawdust for a while before lambing cuts down on bedding once lambing starts (that's if ewes are being housed for a while before lambing that is) I bed with sawdust only indoors until just before ewes are to lamb. With regards to watering small pens I've seen several pics of automatic watering systems using water pipes on the forum. I think [USER=9370]@Gator[/USER] put them up maybe I'm wrong Make sure you have every conceivable veterinary product ready the last thing you want to do is have to leave the yard during those few days. I would consider hiring someone to help. Say 100 ewes = 170 lambs born alive over 10 days. If the worker saved 3 lambs per day which is very reasonable to see a they would be well worth it. As they would be bedding and feeding and moving ewes to paddocks when your busy watching the next lambers [/QUOTE]
